Taboose Pass Day Hike 4.28.07

A day hike to Taboose Pass from the Taboose Pass Trailhead. The trail starts at about 5400 feet above sea level and Taboose Pass is at 11,400 feet above sea level, so it's a 6000 feet gain. It's a 16 mile round-trip. I started at 5:40 am, got to Taboose Pass at 1:20 pm, and then back to the trailhead at close to 6 pm; so around 12 hours round-trip. The trail is rocky, so it's hard to move very fast coming down.
